From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Don't use github/gitlab for small private repositories! use codeberg.org if you are not a developer. If you are in need for a big more jazz and looking at self-hosting go for forgejo.
Could you please elaborate on why one should use Codeberg for private repos if one isn't a dev?
Just make sure to read their FAQ
Pretty sure codeberg.org uses forgejo under the hood.
Another very solid option for self hosting is just adding a git user to a server with git installed, initiate bare repositories there, then talk to them with git@example.com:repo-name
